I'm looking for a new pedestal type table base that folds up small, is on casters and has locking wheels (or at least some I can switch out for locking wheels). I'm hoping to find something I can make my own table tops for and toss into a duffel bag.

Wheels are key for me as I don't want to have to pick up a table and risk sending my multiplying bottles crashing to the floor.

Any ideas?

You should have started your own topic in the "Where to put it all" section of the Café. I will give you my take on your researched tables.

I believe you will find none of those will work well in the long run. I believe the Tannen you referenced and the Fairchild is the same table. None of those tables come with a case to carry it in, most do not fold down into one piece, so you are always putting them together and taking them apart.

I think you will find this suitcase table more compatible for the traveling magician. You will have a nice large surface to work on close-up or on stage. All props are protected and many tricks can be set in advance to cut down on the set-up time at your gig.

I have owned the Norm Nielsen, and it it is a vary large top and does not fold, so the case would be huge. I asked Norm Nielsen if he would sell me a case and he declined, so I sold the table.

The metal folding table is not stable, will fall over very easily with the sleight nudge.

The Fairchild legs do not fold, and thus is real pain and odd shape to deal with trying to carry it around. It is like huge metal thing that does not fit anywhere in the trunk of your car.

Hady.87 - Okay, I just thought I would give my experience with these type of table, SINCE YOU ASKED. I never found them useful for stage or close-up, and awkward to carry around.

I actually found the breifcase that turns into a table better for close-up. Just put it on borrowed table and all set to go.
